    • Love these
These are great speakers for the price, size, build quality and finish. I use with 65” tv and sound exceeds my expectations and better than sound bars (IMO). I recommend where good overall sound is desired in a small form factor

    • Produces a Great Sound
Small, and very nice looking to add to any decor. The sound quality was excellent and put out good base for me. Very easy to use and set up and worked with everything I had. The remote made them easy to use and adjustable. I can recommend these if you are looking for a small good set of speakers.

    • Amazing Speakers for the Price!
Amazing Speakers for the Price! I honestly didn’t expect these to be this good. The Edifier R1280T look really nice in person — the wood finish and overall design make them look way more expensive than they actually are. They fit perfectly on my desk and give off that clean, modern vibe without taking up too much space. Sound-wise? Crazy good. The audio is super clear, the bass hits just right without drowning everything out, and the highs stay crisp even when I turn them up louder than I probably should. I’ve never owned speakers at this price point that sound this balanced. For how cheap they are, the quality feels unreal. They don’t feel “budget” at all — from the build, to the sound, to the little remote that comes with them. If you want great-looking speakers with amazing sound without spending a ton, these are 100% worth it. I don't think there is bluetooth or anything. But the Lifespan seems really good and again.. The Functionality is there! ... show more

    • Very Handsome speakers but lacks clear highs.
Edit update: June 4th 2018. First I am raising the speakers from 3 1\2 to 5. Let me state how important it is to let these wonderful little speakers brake in. I can not believe the increase in sound quality and highs, mids and lows in just a matter of 2 days. I decided not to delete my review below as I can imagine that many people will have the same issues I had below. You have thirty days to return these to amazon and unless you have a another serious issue with these then please give them time to brake in. I am now very pleased and highly recommend them to anyone. 06-02-2018, First I want to state what I do not expect from a hundred set of speakers: I do not expect them to thump. For gosh sake if you want them to thump then spend the money and get bigger speakers. Would you expect a hundred dollars set of car speakers to thump? No you would not. I also do not expect to get more then what I paid for. For example, I did not pay extra for Blue Tooth therefore I do not expect the speakers to have Blue Tooth. Please read the specs before you buy. I do not expect a 42 watt amp to pump out 200 watts and I do not expect to turn Edifiers all the way up and for them not to distort. I guess I want those that read this review to understand that I what I want is to be reasonable with my review. Pros: Packed and protected very well and everything was present and accounted for. Who ever boxed these did it with care. Easy and intuitive to hook up. There is no reason to pay extra for a pro to hook these up for you, seriously a five year old could do it. Plenty of power for a computer or a small room with a nice warm base sound. The Edifier R1280T's have a nice solid and reasonably heavy feel to them. Unlike many others who have reviewed these, I like the small remote. Bottom line is the speakers look really good and go well will my old school teachers oak desk. The wood paneling on the speakers looks good and close to real. Cons: Speakers lack clear highs. I own the Sounblaster X-Fi sound card, so I am not using a cheap sound device built into the motherboard. My aux RCA jack on the Edifier speakers is also hooked up to my old Teac real to real, which produces outstanding analog sound, so my source is clean. Even after going in and adjusting my treble in my sound cards drivers in my computer, the highs just could not clear up and sound crisp. This is a major con and one of the reasons why I am on the fence to recommend these speakers, besides my disappointment. Last, the base and treble controls just do not do much other then spin. There may be a very small amount of difference between moving the controls up and down but the controls do nothing to help boost my highs. Bottom line, all speakers need to be herd before you buy and all us old stereo dudes know this. However in today's buying environment that is very hard to do. The speakers do not sound bad and in fact I am going to keep them, I just wish they were more clear. Recommend If you are not that picky. However, if you are then maybe you need to look at the, two hundred and fifty dollar or higher, pair of Edifiers. 3 1\2 stars leaning more towards the 4 star side. I will follow up if need be. ... show more

    • More than adequate for hopping up your TV sound.. if it has RCA or 1/8" earphone plugs
Nice little speakers. Sound is not extremely crisp.. just slightly muddy. SLIGHTLY....they are adequate for a TV and a milion times better than the TV speakers. They do not compare to my Logitec THX speakers, but also are much cheaper. Would I buy again. Yup for the right Job ... to make a television sound acceptable. THEY ARE NOT MONITOR QUALITY, but I'm picky. Is there something better for the price... probably not. Buy em... great for a TV a kids room, Better than many sound bars ... show more

    • Clarity and power!
Punchy bass! Great, clear audio! Volume is excellent and controlled via the right speaker or a handy remote. I would definitely buy these again! They fit perfectly in my record table cabinets which are not very large and look beautiful. Super easy to use and setup!

    • Last long
They are well worth the money; after almost nine years, they still work perfectly, and my husband refuses to get rid of them. They have great volume and sound just fine. He uses them for his PC and hasn’t had a single problem with them.

    • Bass and Treble
Great speakers! I have had the speakers for a couple of months now and they are better than expected. Easy to setup directly to my turntable. Sounds quality is amazing for the price. Highly recommend.
